WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install range. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1.If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage or dirt. Select a flat surface for assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware on it.

2.Mark centerlines of the cooktop or range on ceiling above.

3.Position the template on the ceiling using the centerlines.

4.Mark the location of the hood front (see arrow printed on template), electrical hole and mounting holes on the ceiling.

NOTE: Make sure there is support framing at the mounting hole locations above the ceiling to support the hood.

5.For vented installations only, install an 8" exhaust vent. Use dimension “S” from “Hood Height Calculations” section and subtract 16 ⁷⁄₈" (42.9 cm). This is how far the vent needs to extend below the ceiling.

NOTE: This step is not used for non-vented (recirculating) installations.

6.Drill a 1¹⁄₄" (3.2 cm) hole for the ¹⁄₂" conduit at the location marked on the ceiling from the template.

7.Run the ¹⁄₂" conduit through the hole. Run wire through the ¹⁄₂" conduit according to the National Electrical Code or CSA Standards and local codes and ordinances. There must be enough ¹⁄₂" conduit and wires from the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box to make the connection in the hood’s electrical terminal box.

8.Use caulk to seal all openings.

NOTE: Do not turn on power until installation is complete.

9.Drill four ⁷⁄₆₄" (2.75 mm) pilot holes at locations marked on the ceiling for mounting hood to ceiling.

NOTE: There are two additional holes in the chimney structure mounting surface which may be used for additional support if desired. After mounting the chimney structure, drill pilot holes in the empty holes.

10.Install four lag screws. Leave the screw heads ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) from the ceiling.

Ventilation Hood specifications

Whirlpool Ventilation Hoods are designed to offer an effective solution for maintaining a clean and comfortable kitchen environment. These hoods serve a vital purpose by removing smoke, steam, grease, and odors generated during cooking, ensuring that your kitchen remains fresh and inviting. With various models available, Whirlpool hoods combine functionality with modern aesthetics, catering to diverse kitchen designs and personal preferences.

One of the standout features of Whirlpool Ventilation Hoods is their powerful ventilation performance. Equipped with robust motors, these hoods offer various CFM (cubic feet per minute) airflow ratings, providing options suitable for any cooking style or kitchen size. This ensures that even the most intense cooking sessions are adequately managed, keeping air quality at its best.

Whirlpool has integrated advanced technologies into their ventilation hoods, such as smart sensors that automatically adjust the fan speed based on the level of cooking activity detected. This feature not only optimizes performance but also enhances energy efficiency, as the hood operates only when required. Additionally, many models come with quiet operation settings, allowing users to enjoy a peaceful cooking experience without disruptive noise.

The design of Whirlpool Ventilation Hoods is equally impressive. With a range of styles including under-cabinet, wall-mounted, and island hoods, there's a suitable option for every kitchen layout. Their sleek stainless steel finish and modern lines add a touch of elegance, while the compact designs help maximize space. Many hoods also feature integrated LED lighting, providing bright illumination over cooking areas and making meal preparation easier and more enjoyable.

Ease of maintenance is another essential characteristic of Whirlpool Ventilation Hoods. Most models come equipped with dishwasher-safe grease filters, which can be easily removed and cleaned, ensuring optimal performance over time. This convenience reduces the maintenance burden on users, allowing them to focus more on cooking and less on cleaning.

In summary, Whirlpool Ventilation Hoods offer a combination of powerful performance, cutting-edge technology, stylish design, and user-friendly features. They effectively improve indoor air quality and enhance the overall cooking experience, making them an excellent addition to any modern kitchen. Whether you are an occasional cook or a culinary enthusiast, investing in a Whirlpool hood will help ensure that your kitchen remains a comfortable and welcoming space.
